INTRODUCTION. 


COR  the  transcript  of  the  two  Rolls  now  printed  the  Worcester- 
•••  shire  Historical  Society  is  indebted  to  Mr.  Everard  Barton, 
one  of  its  members,  who  has  not  only  continued  his  kindness 
of  last  year,  when  he  presented  the  Society  with  a  transcript 
of  a  Subsidy  Roll,  but  has  also  placed  in  the  hands  of  the 
Hon.  Editor  two  further  transcripts  of  succeeding  Rolls,  which 
it  is  hoped  to  publish  in  due  course. 

The  Rolls  now  printed  are  not  of  the  same  kind  as  those 
already  published  by  the  Society.  Those,  with  exception  of 
the  Nonarum  Inquisitioms,  gave  the  names  of  the  individual  payers 
of  the  tenth  or  fifteenth,  as  the  case  might  be,  in  the  several 
vills  throughout  the  county.  Of  these,'  the  first  gives  the  names  of 
the  possessors  of  Knight's  Fees  within  the  county  upon  which 
the  tax  was  levied  ;  and  the  second,  a  list  of  amerciaments  due 
to  the  Crown,  which  were  ordered  to  be  received  by  the  collectors 
of  the  last  imposed  tax.  Some  portion  of  the  first  Roll  is  illegible, 
or  nearly  so,  and  these  parts  have  been  supplied  by  collation 
with  a  transcript  of  it  in  the  Book  of  Aids,  which  was  compiled 
in  the  time  of  Henry  IV.,  some  70  or  80  years  later  than  its 
date. 

THE  ROLL  OF  1346. 

The  origin  of  the  Knight's  Fee  is  a  little  doubtful.  In  the 
Domesday  Survey  the  land  is  marked  out  into  hides,  and  Henry  I., 
when  he  raised  an  aid  for  the  marriage  of  his  daughter,  took  3^.  for 
each  hide.  But  when  Henry  II.  raised  a  similar  aid  he  took  a  mark, 
13-y.  4^.,  for  each  Knight's  Fee.  Nor  was  there  any  rule  as  to 
their  extent.  As  was  probably  the  case  with  the  hide,  it  was 
determined  by  value  rather  than  acreage,  and  the  usual  amount 
was  no  doubt  the  twenty  pounds'  worth  of  annual  value,  which, 
till  the  reign  of  Edward  I.,  was  the  qualification  of  Knight- 
hood, 


IV  INTRODUCTION. 

To  raise  an  aid  of  this  character,  for  the  purpose  of  marrying 
his  daughter  and  knighting  his  eldest  son,  was  an  ancient  prero- 
gative of  the  King,  and  he  had  no  necessity  to  go  to  Parliament 
for  its  sanction,  as  was  necessary  to  raise  other  taxation.  But 
in  voting  a  subsidy  in  1340,  the  Parliament,  by  the  2nd  Statute, 
ordered  not  only  that  the  then  subsidy  should  not  be  made  a  prece- 
dent for  future  imports,  but  that  no  charge  or  aid  whatever  should 
henceforth  be  levied  without  the  assent  of  all  estates  of  men  in 
parliament  assembled  ;  by  which  it  would  appear  that  the  King 
assented  to  abolish  all  unauthorised  tallages.  Yet  in  1346  the 
King  levied  the  present  aid,  thereby  acting  in  an  illegal  manner ; 
and  by  so  doing  he  incurred  a  strong  remonstrance  from  Parlia- 
ment. The  heading  to  the  Roll,  however,  says  that  the  aid  was 
"  granted  "  to  the  King.  Possibly  the  collectors  were  not  intimately 
acquainted  with  the  constitutional  law  of  the  realm. 

The  Roll  of  1346  mentions  an  aid  granted  to  Edward  I.  on 
marrying  his  eldest  daughter  in  1289.  The  occasion  of  this  was 
the  marriage  of  his  daughter  Johanna  to  Gilbert,  Earl  of  Clare. 
The  marriage  had  been  proposed  in  1283,  was  sanctioned  by  the 
Pope  in  1289,  and  took  place  in  April,  1290.  Even  then,  however, 
the  parliament  had  a  word  in  the  matter,  and  registered  their 
formal  assent.  The  Commons  were  not  represented  in  this  par- 
liament, but  as  the  impost  fell  on  tenants-in-chief  only,  the 
commons  were  probably  held  not  to  be  concerned,  and  the  future 
taxpayers  to  be  represented  by  the  barons.  At  this  time  the 
King  had  been  out  of  the  country  for  three  years,  and  at  first 
the  barons  declared  they  would  grant  nothing  till  they  had  seen 
the  face  of  the  king  in  his  own  land.  The  roll  of  this  taxation 
though  it  must  have  been  in  the  hands  of  the  collectors  of  the 
present  aid,  is  not  now  in  existence  for  Worcestershire. 

The  occasion  of  the  aid  of  1346  was  the  knighting  of  Edward 
the  Black  Prince,  and  the  need  for  it  arose  through  the  necessity 
of  finding  money  to  prosecute  the  war  with  France,  declared  on 
May  26,  1345.  As  well  as  being  levied  contrary  to  the  statute 
of  1340,  it  was  raised  at  double  the  amount  fixed  by  the  Statute 
of  Westminster,  at  40^.  from  each  knight's  fee  instead  of  2Os. 

A  Roll,  such  as  the  one  under  consideration,  is  useful  from 
an  historical  point  of  view  as  shewing  the  tenants  -  in  -  chief 
throughout  the  county  at  the  several  dates ;  and  also  the 


INTRODUCTION.  V 

descent  of  estates  and  changes  of  ownership,  and  the  successive 
heads  of  the  chief  county  families.  The  Roll  contains  no  returns 
for  the  Hundred  of  Blackenhurst.  It  would  seem  that  the  fees 
are  totalled  to  correspond  with  the  amount  of  the  tax  as  set 
out  in  the  Roll.  In  the  totals  for  the  Hundred  of  Halfshire  on 
page  8,  the  number  of  fees  is  14^-ff,  while  the  tax  at  40^.  for 
each  fee  represents  I4j|-g-  fees-  ^n  the  words  of  the  total,  £29  at 
the  rate  of  4.0$.  on  each  fee  is  the  return  for  14^  fees,  is.  that 
from  a  fortieth  part  of  a  fee,  while  a  fortieth  part  of  a  fee  is  supposed 
to  contain  twelve  parts,  each  returning  id.  In  the  totals  for 
Doddingtree  on  page  13,  the  half  fee  must  have  been  inserted  by 
some  error.  Roger  Washborne's  holding  in  Stanford  Washborne 
and  Washborne,  entered  as  "  two  parts "  of  a  knight's  fee,  from 
the  amount  of  the  tax  was  two-thirds  of  a  fee,  and  this  being 
so,  the  number  of  fees  adds  up  to  20^-,  correctly  represented  by 
£20  6s.  Bd.  The  totals  of  the  Hundred  of  Pershore  are  correct, 
though  the  number  of  fees  represented  by  the  tax  is  arrived  at 
by  a  round-about  way;  -3- +  TFO  = /o~>  correctly  represented  by  14^. 
The  total  of  the  whole  Roll  on  page  29  disregards  the  id.,  which 
arose  from  the  payment  made  by  the  Prior  of  Worcester  and 
Roger  Butterley  for  the  I3th  part  of  a  Knight's  Fee  in  Shelve, 
entered  on  page  6,  which  is  -^d.  more  than  he  should  have 
paid. 

THE  ROLL  OF  1358. 

The  second  Roll  here  printed  deals  with  a  large  class  of 
amerciaments,  some  of  which  have  their  origin  in  Anglo-Saxon 
and  some  in  feudal  customs.  During  the  twelve  years  that  had 
passed  since  the  former  taxation  was  made  England  had  suffered 
from  the  first  visitation  of  the  plague,  which  occurred  in  1349.  In 
the  meantime  also  several  subsidies  had  been  granted,  the  Rolls  of 
which  for  Worcestershire  are  not  in  existence.  In  1355  a  subsidy 
was  granted  for  six  years  on  the  understanding  that  no  other  tax 
should  be  imposed  during^that  period.  Nevertheless,  in  spite  of 
this  proviso,  a  fifteenth  and  a  tenth  were  again  granted  in  1357, 
and  it  is  the  collectors  of  this  subsidy  no  doubt  who  are  men- 
tioned at  the  beginning  of  the  Roll.  Most  probably  a  special 
statute  was  passed  giving  the  king  for  his  own  use  the  moveable 
goods  of  Felons,  and .  he  would  therefore  issue  a  writ  to  the 


VI  INTRODUCTION. 

Justices  who  condemned  the  felons,  or  some  of  them  as  repre- 
sentatives of  the  rest,  to  hand  over  such  goods  to  the  collectors 
named.  That  this  was  not  a  frequent  method  of  raising  money 
may  perhaps  be  gathered  from  the  fact  that  the  entries  run  over 
twelve  years,  the  date  of  the  earliest  circumstance  that  gives  rise 
to  one  being  1346,  the  date  of  the  previous  Roll.  No  doubt 
the  exigencies  of  the  French  war  caused  the  King  to  look  in  every 
direction  for  the  supplies  with  which  to  prosecute  it. 

The  Roll  affords  us  the  names  of  some  of  the  persons  who 
were  in  official  positions  in  the  county  at  the  time.  What  was 
the  position  of  Thomas  Cassy  does  not  appear,  though  he  was 
somehow  concerned  with  the  safe  keeping  of  prisoners,  as  is 
evident  from  the  entries  and  also  from  the  last  item  on  the 
Roll.  He  was  one  of  the  collectors  of  the  aid  of  1346,  and 
sums  which  he  had  to  pay  form  the  bulk  of  the  amount  raised 
according  to  the  present  Roll.  Out  of  a  total  of  £87  gs.  lod. 
no  less  than  £30  los.  was  paid  by  him ;  and  as  the  greater 
part  of  this  arose  from  the  escapes  of  prisoners,  it  was  probably 
money  in  the  nature  of  a  fine  which  he  would  have  to  find  out 
of  his  own  purse.  If  he  was  the  Sheriff  for  the  year  this  would 
go  to  prove  that  the  office  was  not  without  its  attendant  dis- 
advantages. Only  two  of  the  eight  entries  in  which  his  name 
is  mentioned  afford  a  date,  and  that  the  earliest  found  in  the 
Roll,  1346.  Other  officials  whose  names  are  given,  those  of 
Thomas  Somery  and  Richard  Bromwich,  bailiffs  of  the  Hundred 
of  Oswaldeslow  in  1348  and  1354;  John  Spelby,  Philip  Bartlot  and 
Simon  Groos,  bailiffs  of  Worcester  in  1352  and  1357;  and  John 
Graas,  bailiff  of  Wich  in  1346.  The  names  of  three  coroners 
are  given:  Richard  Lench,  in  1348  and  1353;  Emund  Dun- 
clent,  in  1355,  and  Thomas  Littleton,  in  1356  and  1357.
